Keyboard Shortcuts Reference

This page tracks the current frontend shortcut map defined in the app. The CLI has its own separate keymap and workflow surface; see CLI & MCP for that tooling.

Navigation Shortcuts

The numbered navigation shortcuts are platform-specific:

  • macOS: Ctrl + 1 through Ctrl + 4
  • Windows/Linux: Alt + 1 through Alt + 4

These shortcuts move through the primary routes that are available for the current database type. On SQL databases that typically means:

  1. Chat
  2. Storage Units
  3. Graph
  4. Scratchpad

On NoSQL or reduced-capability databases, the numbering shifts because not every route is available.
